Abstract

A zoom lens system includes: a first lens group having a negative refractive power; a second lens group having a positive refractive power; and an aperture between the first and second lens groups, wherein the first lens group and the second lens group are sequentially arranged from an object side to an image side, wherein the zoom lens system performs zooming and focusing by moving the second and first lens groups, respectively, along an optical axis, and satisfies 2.5<( f w /f t )×( T w /Y )<4.5, where f w denotes an entire focal length at a wide-angle end, f t denotes an entire focal length at a telephoto end, and Tw denotes a distance between an image plane and an object side lens surface of a lens closest to the object side of the first lens group at the wide-angle end, and Y denotes a radical axis image height.
